Polls ‘last chance’ for people to save Tamil Nadu: Jaya

Tirunelveli (TN), April 03: Claiming that Tamil Nadu was in the grip of “anti-social elements”, AIADMK supremo J Jayalalithaa today said the Assembly elections was the “last chance” for the people of the state to save it.

Addressing a campaign meeting at Vikramasingapuram near Ambasamudram constituency in the district, Jayalalithaa said “power cut, uncontrolled price-rise, rice and sand smuggling, rise of rowdy elements, bogus lottery tickets and illicit liquor sale” are rampant in the DMK government.

If the “golden opportunity” presented by this election “to overthrow the DMK government is missed, we may never retrieve the state,” she said.

Later addressing a campaign meeting in Madurai, the AIADMK chief said, “No other scam has shaken the country so strongly as the 2G spectrum scandal.

“This has happened even as Kalanidhi Maran and Dayanidhi Maran family is being declared among the richest in the world.
